This is my favorite Christmas CD of all time! December 14, 2003

These aren't your traditional Christmas carols but a more classical selection. The Corelli Pastorale performed on this disc is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard in my life. Ramirez' Sanctus performed by Jose Carreras is light and joyous as are most of these classical pieces. Sarah Brightman's Pie Jesu is hauntingly beautiful, and these pieces blend in with age old favorites like Bach's Jauchzet, frohlocket and Handel's For unto us a Child is born. If you're like me and you grow weary of hearing the same Jingle Bells carols this is a refreshing addition to your collection.

A Pleasing Selection of Fresh, Classical Christmas Music November 29, 1999
I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this CD. The very first track, Handel's "For unto us a Child is born" is pure ambrosia as the English Choir performs to perfection.

Other highlights include: 8. Maria durch ein Dornwald ging, 10. Mozart's Agnus Dei featuring Kathleen Battle, 13. Pie Jesu featuring Sarah Brightman, 20. Bach's Jauchzet, frohlocket.

There are a few other songs which don't fit in this collection quite as comfortably. Bryn Terfel's rendition of "Mary's Boy Child" at first seemed a bit smarmy, but it grows on you.

Overall, this album is a great value and I'm giving copies to my friends this holiday season.

2 out of 5 stars Okay songs -- disappointing, Sarah sings one song November 12, 1998

The album is okay but not your regular selection of Christmas songs. Sarah Brightman has only one song on the album, so if you are looking for her beautiful voice, you'll be disappointed.
